Easiest and Best Way to Making a Lasting Gift & Enduring Investment

For many clients and friends of Tails of Hope, a charitable bequest is the easiest and best way to make a lasting gift & enduring investment to address the root cause of pet overpopulation and homelessness. By means of your will, Retirement Plan, Insurance Policy, or other estate plan, you can name Tails of Hope as the beneficiary of a portion of your estate, or of particular assets in your estate.


There are many reasons to make a bequest. A bequest allows you to honor a loved one, while providing critical support to Tails of Hope. Giving by bequest costs nothing now, yet it may give you a great deal of satisfaction to know that your future gift will live on.


Furthermore, a bequest:

  • is easy to arrange
  • will not alter your current lifestyle in anyway
  • can be easily modified to address your changing needs


Residual Gift Language

A residual bequest comes to us after your estate expenses and specific bequests are paid:

I give and devise to Tails of Hope, Inc., located in Hermitage, PA, all (or state a percentage) of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, to be used for its general support (or for the support of a specific fund or program).


Specific Gift Language

Naming Tails of Hope as a beneficiary of a specific amount from your estate is easy:

I give and devise to Tails of Hope, Inc., located in Hermitage, PA, the sum of $___________ to be used for its general support (or for the support of a specific fund or program).


Contingent Gift Language

Tails of Hope or its affiliates can be named as a contingent beneficiary in your will or personal trust if one or more of your specific bequests cannot be fulfilled:

If (insert name) is not living at the time of my demise, I give and devise to Tails of Hope, Inc., located in Hermitage, PA, the sum of $ _______ (or all or a percentage of the residue of my estate) to be used for its general support (or for the support of a specific fund or program).


Retirement Plan Beneficiary Language

You may name Tails of Hope as a beneficiary of your IRA or other qualified retirement benefits. Use our Letter of Intent to make the request simple. Donors should consult with their tax advisor regarding the tax benefits of such gifts.


Naming Tails of Hope as the beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan asset such as a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, Keogh or profit-sharing pension plan will accomplish a charitable goal while realizing significant tax savings. It can be costly to pass such assets on to heirs because of heavy tax consequences. By naming Tails of Hope as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, the donor maintains complete control over the asset while living, but at the donor’s death the plan passes to support Tails of Hope free of both estate and income taxes.


Making a charitable gift from your retirement plan is easy and should not cost you any attorney fees. Simply request a change of beneficiary form from your plan administrator. When you are done, please return the form to your plan administrator and notify Tails of Hope. We can also assist you with the proper language for your beneficiary designation to Tails of Hope.

IRA QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION

EMPLOYER MATCH

An Easy Way to Double Your Gift!

What are employee matching gift programs?

Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible non-profit organizations. It's an easy way to double your contribution for the animals and our community! Make an even greater impact by organizing company-wide donation events!!


How do I request a matching gift? Requesting a matching gift is normally quick process which must be initiated by the donor. You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper or electronic match form provided by your employer or by contacting your employer's Human Resources (HR) or philanthropic / community giving department to inquire about the request process.  


Questions?  Employers interested in implementing an Employer Match Program, please email Tails of Hope's Executive Director, Soraya Hejazi: soraya.h@tailsofhopewpa.org.


Other ways an employer can become a philanthropic partner: Companies can boost morale for their teams and have fun hosting their own fundraisers or donation drives for much-needed supplies from our Wish List. Businesses can also become a dedicated donor group with monthly gifts.

BECOME A NAP PARNTER

PA businesses can be awarded a Tax Credit of up to 65%

Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) benefits businesses as their financial contributions to projects in their community are largely offset by tax credits. 

  • It's simple. 
  • It does not require preapproval from the Commonwealth. 
  • Tax credits are flexible - they can be used, carried forward for five years, sold, or passed through to shareholders, members, or partners.
  • It's a powerful way to offset most of the costs of business to contributions to projects while fostering relationships with the nonprofit sector and giving business real input and leadership in the director of their community.
